Paddling Tropical Storm Hanna

Tropical storm Hanna spared my final rooftop BBQ of the season last night, but not my trip to the Renaissance Faire for today. So, with flash floods and sustained 20 MPH winds, what else could I do?  Kayak, of course!  My friend Bonnie and I went out on Jamaica Bay this afternoon and had a great time!

Another one from Bonnie--I'm adjusting my camera after it was knocked over by a breaking wave over my deck!
